2023 Ovelist: Hobby Goals and Report

The 2023 Ovelist: Well this turned out to be a different result from what I expected. I was fairly sure that I had done a good job of making my hobby goals a reality, but when it comes down to it, I'm not even batting .500. So last year I started the Ovelist. The Ovelist…

Is Wargaming Good for STEM?

As a parent of three, I hear constantly from schools about STEM. STEM this and STEM that--everything is about STEM. If you're not familiar with STEM, it's Science, Technology, Engineering and Math, the things that our students today are supposed to be learning about to get the jobs of tomorrow.

My Biggest Wargaming Hobby Regrets

I have been in the wargaming hobby for (I think) 35 years now. I got into it when I was nine and somehow got my hands on a copy of Wargames Illustrated, and I never looked back. Well, that’s not true at all. Over the course of those 35 years I have looked back plenty,…

Faction Focus: Bolt Action Armies of the United States

Looking at the Bolt Action Armies of the United States, you might be forgiven for thinking that they're not the most exciting army.

Getting Started in Bolt Action: Gameplay

For my money, Bolt Action, and it's split-off game Tank War, are everything that I want from a World War Two wargame. The battles aren't big. This is still 28mm. But the gameplay is unique and, in my opinion, has one of the best wargame mechanics bar none. Getting started in Bolt Action is easy…

What are the Most Popular Games Workshop Games?

What are the Most Popular Games Workshop Games? As I was browsing Reddit, I saw a question that surprised me. Someone asked "Is Warhammer 40k or Age of Sigmar more popular?" Now I, being a very old timer in the hobby (I bought my first Warhammer Fantasy skeletons around 1987, and got into Warhammer 40k…

Building Armies in Bolt Action: A Primer Guest Post by Troy from Sonic Sledgehammer Studio If there's one question that comes up more often in Bolt Action groups even more than "How do I paint my army?" it might well be "How do I build my army?" If you're someone already familiar with how squads,…
